More quotes by Benjamin Rush
While the business of education in Europe consists in lectures upon the ruins of Palmyra and the antiquities of Herculaneum , or in disputes about Hebrew points, Greek particles, or the accent and quantity of the Roman language, the youth of America will be employed in acquiring those branches of knowledge which increase the conveniences of life.

Benjamin Rush
Mothers and schools plant the seeds of nearly all the good and evil which exists in the world.
Benjamin Rush
Such is my veneration for every religion that reveals the attributes of the Deity, or a future state of rewards and punishments, that I had rather see the opinions of Confucius or Mahomed inculcated upon our youth than see them grow up wholly devoid of a system of religious principles.
Benjamin Rush
The gospel of Jesus Christ prescribes the wisest rules for just conduct in every situation in life. Happy they who are enabled to obey them in all situations!
Benjamin Rush
Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families.
Benjamin Rush
As the War Office of the United States was established in a time of peace, it is equally reasonable that a Peace Office should be established in a time of War.
Benjamin Rush
The Bible contains more knowledge necessary to man in his present state than any other book in the world.
Benjamin Rush
By renouncing the Bible, philosophers swing from their moorings upon all moral subjects..It is the only correct map of the human heart that ever has been published.
Benjamin Rush
The art of healing is like an unroofed temple, uncovered at the top and cracked at the foundation.
